Inequalities in severe Covid-19 by socioeconomic deprivation and country of birth, Italy, 2021–2024
Global evidence on COVID-19 related inequalities remains temporally fragmented. In this study we investigated how the associations of socioeconomic deprivation (SED) and country of birth with severe COVID-19 evolved in COVID-19 vaccinated persons residing in small/medium sized municipalities in Italy in 2021–2024. We retrospectively analysed data of 22,131,245 adults, living in municipalities with <50,000 residents, extracted from the national CO…
Increasing situational awareness through nowcasting of the reproduction number
Background: The time-varying reproduction number R is a critical variable for situational awareness during infectious disease outbreaks; however, delays between infection and reporting of cases hinder its accurate estimation in real-time. A number of nowcasting methods, leveraging available information on data consolidation delays, have been proposed to mitigate this problem. Methods: In this work, we retrospectively validate the use of a nowcast…
Risk of breakthrough infection and hospitalisation after Covid-19 primary vaccination by HIV status in four Italian regions during 2021
Our findings suggest PLWH were not at increased risk of breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 hospitalisation following a primary cycle of mRNA vaccination
Socioeconomic Inequalities in Sars-CoV-2 Infection and Covid-19 Health Outcomes in Urban Italy During the Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout, January–November 2021
This study analysed the evolution of the association of socioeconomic deprivation (SED) with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes in urban Italy during the vaccine rollout in 2021. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis between January and November 2021, comprising of 16,044,530 individuals aged ≥ 20 years, by linking national COVID-19 surveillance system data to the Italian SED index calculated at census block level. We estimated inc…
Geographic heterogeneity of the epidemiological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy using a socioeconomic proxy-based classification of the national territory
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the differences in incidence, non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) and intensive care unit (ICU) hospital admissions, and COVID-19-related mortality between the "inner areas" of Italy and its metropolitan areas. Study design: Retrospective population-based study conducted from the beginning of the pandemic in Italy (20 February 2020) to 31 March 2022. Methods: The municipalities of Italy were classified into …
Excess Mortality in Italy During the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 dramatically influenced mortality worldwide, in Italy as well, the first European country to experience the Sars-Cov2 epidemic. Many countries reported a two-wave pattern of COVID-19 deaths; however, studies comparing the two waves are limited. The objective of the study was to compare all-cause excess mortality between the two waves that occurred during the year 2020 using nationwide data. All-cause excess mortalities were estimated usi…
Socioeconomic patterns and Covid-19 outcomes before, during and after the lockdown in Italy (2020)
The objective was to investigate the association between deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes in Italy during pre-lockdown, lockdown and post-lockdown periods using a retrospective cohort study with 38,534,169 citizens and 222,875 COVID-19 cases. Multilevel negative binomial regression models, adjusting for age, sex, population-density and region of residence were conducted to evaluate the association between area-level deprivation and COVID-19 inci…
Effect of Urban Wastewater Discharge on the Abundance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli in Two Italian Rivers
In both rivers, diffuse or point pollution sources other than the studied WWTP effluents may account for the observed resistance pattern, although the Arrone appears as more sensitive to the wastewater impact considering its lower flow volume
Towards a European Framework to Monitor Infectious Diseases among Migrant Populations
There are limitations in our capacity to interpret point estimates and trends of infectious diseases occurring among diverse migrant populations living in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). The aim of this study was to design a data collection framework that could capture information on factors associated with increased risk to infectious diseases in migrant populations in the EU/EEA. The authors defined factors associated with i…
Screening for Infectious Diseases among Newly Arrived Migrants in EU/EEA Countries—Varying Practices but Consensus on the Utility of Screening
Screening is one possible tool for monitoring infectious diseases among migrants. However, there is limited information on screening programmes targeted for newly arrived migrants in EU/EEA countries. Our aim was to investigate the implementation, practices and usefulness of these programmes. We conducted a survey among country experts from EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, asking whether their countries had implemented screening programmes. We a…
Investigating factors associated with uptake of HIV voluntary counselling and testing among pregnant women living in North Uganda
We investigated factors potentially associated with the uptake of HIV voluntary counselling and testing (VCT), which is the first step in acceding to programmes for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection. For the period 2001-2003, we estimated the VCT uptake among the 12,252 first-time attendees of the Antenatal Clinic (ANC) at Lacor Hospital (Gulu District, North Uganda). Associations between VCT uptake and socio-demogra…
HIV-1 prevalence and factors associated with infection in the conflict-affected region of North Uganda
Although published data from Gulu district show a declining HIV-1 prevalence trend that is consistent with that observed at the national level since 1993, the prevalence in North Uganda is still high. Internally displaced women have a lower risk of being infected probably because of their reduced mobility and accessibility, and increased access to health prevention services
